Over the past year, several additions and corrections to the HOMD Taxon Table and Taxon Description pages have been made. These changes are shown in the Excel file for HOMD version 13.0 [Download the Excel File Here].

In addition, the default 16S rRNA reference set has been updated to version 13.0 in the HOMD RNA BLAST tool: "Identifying 16S rRNA Seuqnece". The new sequence set can also be downloaded as text file. The Extended set which includes the provisional taxa A00-H067 has not yet been updated and therefore should be used with caution.
